The SkyCity Casino in Auckland hosted the third event of Asia Pacific Poker Tour Season 2, and it was Kiwi Daniel Craker, who qualified for just $80 in the last live satellite, who walked away with the title and prize money. The room was packed with spectators as the thrilling tournament played out, and there was plenty of local representation at the final table, and a Trans-Tasman battle was joined as Craker faced down Australian Matthew Konnecke heads-up. That battle was a short one however, as both players were all-in on only the second hand. Craker’s pair of deuces was up against Konnecke’s A-9, and the deuces held to give Craker NZD$257,040 and the title.
